"Working from home, eating from home, cooking from home — it all blends into one experience. I try to play hooky, getting up to walk outside. I’ve been trying to practice a lot of that. Taking walks, heading to Herbert Von King Park, just to bring some humanity back into my schedule."

"A landmark in Bed Stuy and a park I've been going to for many years. I've had some major memories here, and other locals can say the same. In the summer months it really comes alive and its outdoor amphitheater is used for free concerts and kid friendly events. A true pillar of the neighborhood." - Sarah Nsikak

Lovely park, lovely people, but the off-leash dog people are out of control! I say this as a crazy Dog Mom with a rescue pitbull that I keep on a leash at all times. There’s a great gated dog park (both small and large dog areas), so it sucks that people take over the big lawn area with loose pups. We gotta work on our park manners, y’all! Two playgrounds keep it kid-friendly, an open theater, and a baseball field that’s closed off during winter. Let’s keep it clean and keep it leashed!

Community-oriented park with lots of events. There are CITI bikes around so you can start riding here and hang out in the neighborhood. The park has rest rooms and nice sitting areas. It is also clean.

Came here for the concert series and it was fun! Its local, metro accessible and was full of people. Great parking in the area and just the right size for some fun. I could see myself coming back here!

Nice park with lots of playground space and places for dogs to roam. Small outdoor gym area and some sport courts for things like handball. About a half mile in perimeter length, so reasonable for walking or jogging around, and it's all flat with no hills. City bike accessible with a small station at the northwest corner. Theres also a small amphitheater that's nice for the occasional event.

It was my 1st spot to visit when I walked around Brooklyn with my son. We sat & drank coffee while catching up. The place was full of couples, families, dogs. There was a play area & a wide open field with balls & Frisbees being thrown. I was honestly amazed, because you never see THAT side of Brooklyn, or NY. It was a very nice surprise!

Had a great weekend at the Herbert Von King Park. It is very spacious with lots of areas for picnics and for large gatherings/celebrations of any kind. Separate grassy area to lay out on with your blankets or to do yoga. You can also enjoy local music and dancing. And even though there is an area for small/ large dogs, they don't just stay there, they roam all over with their humans. So if you're allergic or just don't like a lot of dogs, this is not the park for you to visit. The absolute worst part of the entire park are the restrooms. I felt like I was gonna catch a disease by walking in there. It's extremely filthy....the toilets, floors, sinks all beyond disgusting. Thankfully the park is kept up really good despite being very busy all the time.

It was a pleasant walk thru the park today. There was a group of worship & praise to the LORD. The dog run was full and those dogs were so happy! You can hear the children’s laughter in the playground! Summer is almost here! Great place to be out and about on a sunny day!

It's a secure place to chill no illegal activity is there because the police station is right beside it so I feel safe there
